The contribution of livestock to household livelihoods in Tanzania and Uganda: measuring tradable and non-tradable livestock outputs.

Livestock is estimated to contribute to the livelihoods of about 60 percent of rural households in developing countries, including many poor. Measuring the exact extent of such contribution is however challenging, because of significant data gaps. This paper develops and applies a methodology to assess the contribution of livestock to household livelihoods, which allows measuring both tradable and non-tradable or marginally tradable livestock outputs.
